This implementation status document provides clear markup signs for what needs to be implemented but hasn’t been pushed to GitHub yet. The majority of the framework roadmap features are still pending implementation, with only the initial platform components already in place.
The markup signs throughout this document (marked with -REQUIRED suffixes) indicate specific areas that need immediate attention and implementation. Use these markers to guide your development efforts and track progress as you transform Core Web into a modular framework according to the roadmap.
